What is "borden-carleton"

Borden-Carleton is a Canadian town located on the south shore of Prince Edward Island, fronting on the Northumberland Strait.

The town was originally incorporated under community status on April 12, 1995 through the amalgamation of the Town of Borden and the Community of Carleton. The town of Borden opted to demote its status to a community in light of a declining tax base with the pending completion of the Confederation Bridge and the closure of the Marine Atlantic ferry service. The community subsequently changed to town status on July 31, 2012.
